Christie’s Grant for Nazi-Era Provenance Research 2025

Christie’s is delighted to announce the third year of the Christie’s Grant for Nazi-Era Provenance Research, supporting the next generation of provenance researchers in this field.  

The grant will be offered to four recipients (£5,000 each), to fund forward-thinking academic, post-graduate research into subjects related to Nazi-era provenance research and restitution. In addition, Christie’s will offer two grants of £2,000 each to undergraduates who are studying Nazi-era and restitution-related topics, and who may be considering a future career or study in this area, with a view to deepening their interest in the subject. 

In 2023, Christie’s launched its Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research as part of its year-long programme, “Reflecting on Restitution”, organised by the auction house to mark the 25th anniversary of the Washington Principles—the 11 foundational principles which have provided a framework for handling research into and claims resulting from the widespread confiscation, forced sales and looting of artworks during the Nazi-era. 
 

The application process is now open to students in art history or with an interdisciplinary interest in Nazi-era related provenance research.  For further information about the application requirements please visit our Grant Website . 

Applications will be accepted until the 30 June 2025 to the email: RestitutionGrant@Christies.com.
